wow, how do you get so many stars in your image (especially the first one) do you turn up the mag limits?  Also are all of these the same planet on 0980?

Well, the exposure system is not quite so robust in 980 (and yes, all of these are from 980), and you hang around a large globular cluster, you will get a lot of bright stars in your sky.
Not all the same planet here, except the last two, I do believe.

Just a bit late for Christmas.  Oh well...

Somewhere at Mauna Kea: Hawaii.

Its a mod made by Lujo0707, you can find it in the workshop.

Thanks it is just what I'm looking for!  Will it also put trees on other planets (like Earth for example).  I hope they are only in climate friendly areas (not in the high arctic for example) and not on planets that likely can't support them!

Also I noticed your skies are a very deep blue (almost purple!) and the aurorae are easily visible in daylight....are these from some kind of mod also or are they normal features of the program?

Also, in your most recent image, is that a wormhole from a mod?

Played SE for a while in 8k this morning, runs pretty decently with everything on highest settings, and MSAA at 4x.  I could do 16k, but most browsers and Discord tend to have issues with that high of a resolution.

Galaxies disabled, star mag increased to show shape of galaxy, also 8k

I asked you about this just now in the Computer gear thread, Doc.  Is there any way to go 4K/8K screenshots on a 1080P display....I can do 4K cubemaps (except on planets with dense atmospheres for some reason), but I want to duplicate my SE window at a much higher resolution.

the atmosphere and the aurora were changed for my liking with the help of editor.

No, its just a ordinary black hole with custom disc around it.
